A 'Long Time Coming' the first installment in the 'Whitfield Bride Series' is a sweet and endearing romance. I thoroughly enjoyed the instant attraction between Micah and Tessa. I also thought the cast of characters to be well-developed and quite memorable. I enjoyed the camaraderie of both families during their social gatherings throughout this story. I was definitely caught up in the very sensual love scenes sprinkled throughout the pages. However, as another reviewer mentions, I also found this story flooded with TOO MANY details regarding the décor, clothing, and food, albeit beautifully descriptive and well written details, it was a little much in my opinion, which often caused the storyline to have a 'slow-flow' at times. That being said, I am still looking forward to reading the second installment to find out what Ms. Alers has in store for the next Whitfield 'diva'.
